There's this bit of dialogue in 1x12:
- Broadway: -You sure you can fly this [helicopter]?
Lexington: -Hey, it's just like the simulator game back at the tower.
Brooklyn: -Famous last words.
I wonder if the last line's connected to the similarly-named trope.

It's not. Part of why I had sent Famous Last Words to TRS, but nothing came of it.

In The Price Xanatos and Hudson have a nice talk about true immortality. In Grief we find out that Gargoyles age at half the rate of humans. I believe that before the 1000 year stone sleep Hudson is about 116 which translates to 58 and when the castle rises above the clouds Xanatos is about 39. I put them being the same biological age when Xanatos is 77. For all Xanatos' pity who dies first.
Elisa qualifies for the Commissioner Gordon trope doesn't she?

Why? Context is necessary.

Just removed a bit stating that the Weird Sisters were the Big Bad of the series as confirmed by Word of God. I've been browsing through the Ask Greg archives (specifically, the section on the Weird Sisters) and there doesn't seem to be anything there to confirm this- to the contrary, Weisman doesn't even seem to really consider the Sisters villains (though they certainly can be antagonistic) as much as three Chessmasters who run on Blue-and-Orange Morality. Also, they do embody vengeance, but also embody fate and grace as well. Is there some Word of God somewhere else that establishes the "real Big Bad" interpretation of the Sisters, or is it just something someone else came up with? It's just been bugging me.
Note: I'm not saying that I don't think the "real Big Bad" interpretation works for the Sisters (I don't particularly agree with it- so far as we know, they have nothing to do with Xanatos, one of the major villains of the series, for starters- but I can definitely see where it's coming from). I just want to know if Weisman actually supported this or not.

Is Gargoyles about good versus evil? Faith versus technology? Or the Fettered versus the Unfettered?

What makes you think the series as a whole is about any of those things?
Lisa: Perhaps this story has no moral. Homer: Exactly! It's just a bunch of stuff that happened!
...naw. Though he may not have had deep themes in mind when he started writing 'Awakening', Weisman is obviously a big fan of themes. I only suggest the first one to point out that - unlike almost all TV intended for kids - Gargoyles avoided the simple good/evil dichotomy. The second one's a standard of anime. The third strikes me as a strong contender, though. Look at the Unfettered trope page and compare it with Xanatos - then look at the Fettered trope page and compare it with Goliath's character.
Am I just overly perverted, or did anybody else see some Ho Yay crossed with Dude He's Like In A Coma when Xanatos pulled off the vines growing on the sleeping Goliath and said "Magnificent!"?
Then there was the fact that Xanatos educated Thailog to consider Xanatos and Goliath his rookery fathers.

... That is not outside the scope of my goggles. xD And I believe the inflection was:
"Maaaaaaggg-NIFICENT~"
Yes, WITH the tilde.

Would it be ok if the cartoon continuity and the comics conitnuity had separate pages?

Should Angela be considered a Disney Princess?
I mean, Goliath is the leader of his clan, and Angela is his biological daughter.

No she shouldn't. Gargoyle clans don't work in such a way where anybody could have any such title.
I was informed I needed forum approval to make edits to the "Complete Monster" section.
I wanted to add the sentence below at the end of Jackal's entry because I felt it was extra icing on the cake to show just how twisted really he was:
"In an inhuman display of depravity, he not only spares the Emir to witness the devastation firsthand, he also plans to resurrect his son after the earth has become nothing but a barren wasteland."
